AND I REMEMBER INFANTRY COMPANY WEAPONS PLATOONS with 81mm mortars and
other heavy weapons from roughly the same era.

and  infantry platoon weapons  squads that had	both LMG and either 3.5"
RL or 90mm RR as part of their weapons.

when both were taken out  for a sweep where base camps	(and bunkers) or
armor  were likely, the grunts in the rifle  squads found themselves
humping the  3.5" RL or the 90mm RR and ammo for the  weapons
squaddies!

hell everyone was trained in the use of all infantry weapons (mortars
being  pocket  artillery required a bit of extra training) up to the
105mm and 106mm RR.
